outset of his Senatorial career he was
treated as detested fanatic, and re-
fused a place on any committee, as
ssoutside Of any healthy political or

of the Senate Committee on Foreign
Relations, and to see men of African
descent elected to seats in the Senate
and the House of Representatives, COM

The Planet Mars.
The Edinburp Review thinks that 4

The Edinburg Review thinks that the
planet Mars may justly be considered a
kind Of duplicate earth, it being endow-
ed with land, water, clouds, and air,
and snow accumulating around its
poles in their respective seasons of
winter. IF this be so the atmosphere of
the planet is, however, obviously much
more rare. than that of the earth, so
that it only exerts at the planets sur
face a pressure of about two pounds
and quarter to the square inch. The
climate of Mars is conceived, from the
small amount Of snow that accumulates
at the poles of the planet, to be COM
paratively mild; and the water is dis
tributed into very curious series of
long parallel canals which run out
from the ocean basins to an extent, in
some places, of 5000 and 1000 miles.
AS is well known, astronomers have
succeeded in discovering since 1877 two
moons, these being found to present a
diameter of not more than six or seven
miles, and one of them completing a
revolution round the planet in a little
more than seven hours.

Sumner Told Fre Was Too Late,

United States the 1st Of December,
1851, the day on which Henry Clay
left it, and was sworn jim as the sue
cessor of Daniel Nebster.H3Soon after
he took lis seat in the arena, which

political champions of the North; the
South, and the West, Mr.. Benton said
of him: ''You have come upon the

have passed away. Mr.. Calhoun and
MI. Clay and MI. Webster are gone. :
Calhoun and Clay and Webster did
indeed pass away, but Chase and Seward

than those supposed to have become
extinct. Sumner had but two

London Life,

The afternoon tea is almost a necessi
ty IN London life. It is considered use
full as "a pick me up" and it serves an
admirable purpose in the social system
1t costs the household hardly any
trouble or expense. 1t brings people
together in the easiest possible way for
ten minutes or an hour, just as their en-
gagements or fancies may settle it. A
cup of tea at the right moment does for
the virtuous reveler all that Fallstaf1

least the first half of it's "twofold oper-

ONLY WIND.

A Windbag said to itself one day
"Now I will be frisky, and light, and gay
And ri make men think I'm firm and sound,
Just cause am noisy, and big, and round;
And III make them think I'm thing OF brains
With moral feelings, and lofty aims;
But I know I'm only wind
So the Windbag went, and 1t blew Its horn,
And the world thought there was genius
born,
And It looked so substantial, and big, and
grand,
That loudest praised it could command,
And as It was fiourishing, day by day,
Men thought it was sound and had come to
stay,
Whereas, 1t was only wind.
II blew its own trumpet long and loud,
Till it gained the respect of the vulgar crowd
And it placed its boom on the upper she'll
And It Dragged, and boosted, and spread itself
And laid all good at its own front door,
As il pranced along with rush and roar;
But the roar was only wind
And the Windbag smiled as IL onward speu,
And it chuckled and laughed as 1t doomed
ahead,
And it said, "What fools these mortals be
To bow aud take off their hats to me;
But you bet holler for number one,
Ard they think I'm terrible Fee Faw FUN;
But there's nothing to me but wind
There's maxim that came from some fairy
elf,
"Give calf enough rope and he'll hang him
self"
So the Windbag went, as the cyclones go,
With terrible buster, and howl, and blow,
Till there came some sudden though Sigh
mishaps,
And the Windbag fell in great collapse,
And they saw it was only wind

DON'T KNOW ANY BETTER.
When a man gets too much dust In his eyes
And grimly refuses to advertise,
It's not that he's stingy, or ugly, or mean
Not that he's too bashful to have himself seen
It's not that he has any reason himself
To drive away business and bury his pelf;
It's cause he don't know any better.
